I find it quite weird asking this, as one can feel very proud and happy about what they have accomplished on one site, only to feel... inadequate, on a larger one.

 A few things I have found:

- Ads do not work. They don't even make it to blue checks.
- Follow and follow-back does not work.
- Getting replied to by a large account does work, temporarily. Because unless there are mainly bots who followed you from a given action, the churn rate should be very low.

So the strategy becomes finding large accounts' posts fast enough, and replying to them.

But how? How to measure if a given post will go viral and its worth taking a shot?

People on Twitter are morons, so just say the stupidest shit imaginable, and you will have trillions of followers.

It's simple. Just tweet a controversial stuff. Relationships works faster. Paint a very weird scenario that favours women. Make it something a little bit new and weird. Stick with it and say more if that. Come up with more stories. Encourage bad things but don't make it look like you are encouraging it. Use words that doesn't hurt feelings. For example instead of saying prostitute. Use baddie instead. Try and make your words sweet. If you don't want relationships, use another thing. Main point is that try and be controversial. Hope this helps you.

+1 controversial tweets do work and stories about anything thats trending. But to succeed on X, you'll need premium membership with blue check mark. People prefer to follow and read tweets of premium/verified users.

Instead of calling these tweets controversial, you can call them absolutely fucking stupid. This is because nearly everyone on Twitter is a fucking moron who deserves to be fed into a meat grinder because they are just useless sacks of meat meant to feed lions and nothing more.

Build genuine connection on X, follow active users with smaller accounts and interact on their tweets, they'll easily follow back, do this gradually, get to know them through DM, in a short time they'll begin to reciprocate on your tweets or replies, it takes a little time, but, sooner by making the right controversial content and their activities added to it, you'd go viral on X.

Nope. There is absolutely no way to build any genuine connection with anyone from X because 99.9999999% of the entities there are idiots.

Besides controversial content, just spread misinformation. Nothing will happen to you anyway. Hoaxes and false information spread faster lol.

I think replying early to large accounts can increase visibility but I don’t believe it’s enough on its own. I’ve seen many early replies receive very little engagement because they didn’t add anything valuable to the conversation.

In my opinion timing and quality have to work together. A reply that offers a different perspective, useful information or a well reasoned argument is more likely to be noticed than simply being one of the first comments.

I’m also curious whether consistency plays a bigger role rather than going viral. Building an audience through regular, high quality post may be slower but it seems more sustainable over the long term.

Preach it. Most people are morons who love consuming misinformation.

Post on your account daily find a niche you like,to find big important accounts on that sector use grok

On the question: you cant predict a single post. Stop trying. Instead, bet on accounts. Some big accounts go viral almost every time. Find the reliable ones in your niche. Turn on their notifications. Now you are early without refreshing all day.

For any given post, watch early engagement, not the topic. Lots of likes in the first few minutes, relative to that account's normal, means it's climbing. That is your window. But speed isn't everything. First reply with junk loses to fifth reply with something people screenshot. The reply has to be good.
That's also your churn fix. A follower who liked your reply sticks. A ..nice post 🔥.. follower was never staying.

So don't measure the post. Measure the account ahead of time, watch velocity in the moment and make the reply worth a follow even if the post flops.

Niche's don't work unless lots of people already are interested in that. And if you want to find something that most people are interested in, just post a lot of bullshit.

X ads - it doesn’t work
X shillers bloggers - it doesn’t work
X good bloggers - 50-50 (there are a lot of factors)
Cross promo (80/20)
Special events/ giveaways - not bad
Viral construction / excellent but difficult

To go viral on X, people just need to ask themselves one question? What do retards like? On X, nobody has any intelligence whatsoever. They are all really dumb.

Giveaways aren't a bad idea; choose a topic of interest and be consistent with daily posts.

Ads almost got me shadowbanned. I have a crazy story. I purchased $40 worth of boosts by accident instead of $10, and then my post was picked up by a repost farm by coincidence, and then I noticed my replies were being hidden.  But anyway, that was sorted out after a few days.

Shills - you're right a waste of time

Good bloggers - meh, doesnt really work anymore

Promos/giveaways - I'm not wasting my money on that, and is probably against the rules now too. Don't see any giveaways anymore.

Viral construction - the most effective as for every 20k impressions you get 1 follower. But to go viral, people have to know who you are and what you do. And only post about that.


Nikita banned giveaways and also replying every day with dozens of posts throughout the day doesn't seem to work anymore either.

So you have used X to make everyone there more miserable than they already are? As long as everyone promotes and follows stupid ideas, we will never solve important problems such as the problem of reversible computation. But I am the only one on this site who knows about reversible computation because everyone else here is mentally retarded.

I would like to know this too.

X feels hard to predict. Sometimes the post itself is not special, but if it gets replies fast under the right big account, it suddenly moves.

But X is special. And by special, I mean mentally retarded intellectually disabled.

X and Bitcointalk are not that different.
On X you need engagement, big accounts and the right connections.
On Bitcointalk you need merits, familiar names and some friends around you.
Different platform, same game: attention is the real currency.

X has bots and engagement groups,
Bitcointalk has alt accounts and merit circles...
every platform has its own version of "networking"  ;D

Usually cases of virality in X usually are from either popular accounts, popular issues, content hungry post, and accounts that usually post bs or fights other users for clout. Most of the time its usually misinformation and shit posts that attracts people. Some popular accounts in X are actually more on fan accounts that post different random things, others post things like thirst contents too to gain attraction.

it's harder to go viral on x than on any other social media app to the best of my knowledge, but still it can be policed and there's usually a formula for it. Not quite far from what you mentioned about following big accounts and replying fasts but what works most on x is specifically targeting an audience, and they'll do the rest for you from quotes, comments and reposts.

I too would be interested in a preferably free strategy to increase my followers/reals on x that are not bots

Why X? Why not nostr?

I've been grinding on X for over two years now and I gotta admit it's hard..
I have over 15k posts/replies combined and I don't post slop or copy paste shit at all.
I sit at around 5k followers, I post mostly about crypto and memecoins, meanwhile I trade a lot of crypto myself too.

Organic engagement is almost 404. 25% of my tweets get even 1 reply.
Just few of my posts have gone viral.
Also it's normal to have 5-10 unfollows each day, some of them are hunting for F4F, meanwhile some of them are bots.

People tend to use engagement groups but X will suspend your account if you do so.

Good topic btw, I just wanted to share my experience.

This is not healthy behavior. Actually, going on X at all is unhealthy behavior. Have you ever heard of the Matthew Effect? This means that social media has about nothing to do with your skills, abilities, how hard you work, or the qualities of your posts, but it has everything to do with whatever stupid nonsense people worship these days. And these days, people are all into stupid nonsense. People also tend to follow whoever is already popular and rarely if ever give a new person a chance. And this is with all social media. And the exponential distribution of the number of views, likes, etc produced by the recommender system just makes this even worse.
